This Game is Too Real

The desolate streets are littered with unswept garbage, scrapped vehicles lie on the overgrown streets, and the mottled metal lampposts make it impossible to tell whether it is rust or blood.

Broken shop windows can be seen everywhere here, and the paralyzed android mannequins are still hung with scraps of the most fashionable styles from two hundred years ago, but there is not a single figure.

It has never been bombed by heavy weapons, and the main structure of most buildings is intact.

But in the end it was abandoned.

"...It should be the front." Sesame paste held a map in his hand, compared to the surrounding buildings, and took the lead in walking in front of the team.

According to the information of the scientific research team, the gate of Vault 79 is located at No. 79 Xiangling Street, East District, Ruigu City, which is a municipal library.

As for the specific entrance, there is no specific description in the document, only limited text mentions that residents who arrive in the evacuation area should obey the manager's arrangement and enter the shelter under the instructions of security personnel.

I think this is also for safety reasons.

Walking beside the sesame paste, the broad-bodied Rou Rou looked around with his head probing, and muttered softly.

"What a pity…\"

"What a pity?" The tail riding on her shoulder tilted her head.

"I always feel that the city is still good, but the people are gone."

"That's right," the tail index finger rubbed against the chin, in a contemplative manner, "Why don't everyone go back to live after the war is over?"

Sis thought about it.

"Emmm.. maybe it's because the people are gone?"

Meat:…\"

Sesame paste: "Ah...haha."

Although he just repeated the fleshy words, Si Si didn't think it was nonsense.

As she saw after entering the city, it was not the war itself that destroyed the city, but the chaos caused by it.

The lack of a series of resources, including food, water, electricity, fuel, etc., has turned this place into a steel jungle that is even crueler than the virgin forest.

Especially in the third year of the war, the planet entered a half-century-long Little Ice Age.

And when most people withdrew from the city, the alien species quickly occupied it, nesting in buildings, walking through ruins, and hunting in the dark.

A wastelander who walks here will never know, when he opens a door, the first roaches that are longer than legs jump out, or a group of mice that grind their teeth and **** blood.

or-

Something more terrifying.

"Shh..."

The cat ears on the top of his head moved slightly, and Sesame Paste made a silent gesture to signal his companions to be quiet.

Pressing her footsteps, she walked to the crossroads at the end of the street. She was lying beside the door of a scrap car and looked at the street corner on the left.

For a moment, she held her breath because of the giant object that caught her eye.

Death Claw!

Dark green scales covered his entire body, his nearly six-meter-tall body lay across the street, with his tail curled in front of him.

Just looking at the size, this guy is much bigger than the "Niko" at the entrance of Vault 404, and his claws are sharper, so it should be a different breed.

The heavy snoring blew the bushes on the side, and the dull snoring seemed to be asleep.

Looking at the two **** corpses lying beside Sharp Claw, Sesame Paste's expression was slightly stiff.

She wasn't sure if a single RPG could really kill this guy effectively.

If the sneak attack is unsuccessful, they may be wiped out in an instant.

She withdrew on tiptoe, she returned to the side of her companions, and said nervously.

"It's Dead Claw. It's blocking the door to the library."

Si Si touched his chin and said solemnly.

"No wonder there are no other xenomorphs around."

Rou Rou asked nervously.

"Then what shall we do?"

"It's okay, it's not the only way anyway," Si Si took out the paper map and stared at it for a while, "The risk of a frontal breakthrough is too high... Let's go around to the garage behind the library and climb over the wall from there. already."

Deathclaw's intuition for crisis is not generally high.

She had seen it with her own eyes, the dead claw who was sleeping one second, jumped up and slapped the flying RPG rocket the next second.

Well, that rocket was fired by her.

After that, she and Tail were given a second by the death claw that rushed up. This was several versions ago.

This kind of unreasonable creature cannot be measured by common sense.

If it was near Dawn City, they would call for an air strike. Unfortunately, this is Ruigu City, which is far from the save point and the resurrection point.

They have to avoid even the slightest risk.

The group changed their direction and walked along the next street to the parking lot behind the municipal library.

However, what Ling Si Si did not expect was that this place was not as empty as it looked from the outside, and there was a survivor settlement hidden there!

There are two or three hundred households living here, which is like a large-scale village.

Right under the nose of Death Claw!

"stop!"

Standing on the fence reinforced with steel bars and wood planks, the man in the studded coat whispered to the crowd outside the wall.

He was holding a shotgun in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the bushy white bear, as well as the ammunition chain and light machine gun carried on the white bear's back, with nervousness and anxiety in his expression.

Although there were only three women standing outside the wall.

But he wouldn't naively think that a woman who could tame such a strong beast so obediently and walk alone in the wasteland would be a good thing.

"Don't be nervous, we have no hostility." Si Si glanced at the shotgun in the man's hand, and then at the iron pipe held by the survivors behind him, not taking it seriously.

After the resupply, she has changed into a new body armor.

The iron-barreled rifle whose bullets were Brownian had no deterrent to her.

"Who are you? Legion? Or an enterprise?" The man standing on the fence looked at her and asked nervously.

"None of them, we are wastelanders from Qingquan City next door."

The survivors standing behind the man exchanged surprised glances.

"Qingquan City?"

“I went there when I was young… There was a Boulder there, and they used plastic sheets as money to buy mint-scented soap.”

"real or fake?"

"Really! I heard you can eat three meals a day there!"

"And this good thing!?"

Listening to the whispers of the people behind him, the man stared at Si Si suspiciously, but he finally put away the muzzle and hostility.

"It seems that the Legion does not have any women... No matter who you are, it's just not those guys."

After a pause, the man made a brief self-introduction.

"My name is Wu Tao, the hunter of Xiangling Town... and the mayor here."

"What happened here?" Sis asked, looking at the man.

"A lot has happened, shouldn't you come to see the airship in the northwest at this time?"

Sis nodded.

Don't say you saw it.

They had only had a fight with the guy who came down from there a few days ago.

"Have the Legion come here?"

"It's more than that," Wu Tao curled his lips, "the day before yesterday, that group of robbers, more than 100, came here, saying that the army of the enterprise was burning, killing and looting nearby, and asked us to move to their camp to accept their protection. ...the devil believes their bullshit."

"We've been living here for over a century, let alone a business, and even if the mutants come, we're not going anywhere! Then the thugs started setting fires..."

The man said cursingly.

Si Si frowned and continued to ask.

"and after?"

"Later, the guy showed up"

Speaking, Wu Tao glanced behind him with lingering fears, but his sight was not on the library behind him, but over the eaves of the building.

Si Si knew what he was referring to and was slightly surprised.

"That death claw?"

Wu Tao nodded with a complicated expression.

"Yeah, don't know where it came from, but thanks to that guy, the Legion dropped a few bodies and the rest were run off.

Sis: "You're not afraid of that death claw"

"Afraid, of course, but the airship is still there, and we're worried that the Legion's people will come back."

Wu Tao sighed and said helplessly, "Watching it nibble away those corpses, we threw some mutant hyenas and mice for it.

That guy isn't picky eaters, he just stayed at the door of the library. We don't know how long it will stay, but a few days are stable.

None of the people we sent to the Legion to inquire about the news came back. "

Sisi guessed that the Legion was probably reluctant to use the 400mm gun on that beast. Otherwise, even the claw of death would not be able to withstand that

A blow to the "arms of the army".

"Our story is over, it's your turn.

Wu Tao stared at Si Si and continued to ask, "Since you are not a legion, nor an enterprise, nor a businessman... So what are you coming to us for?"

"We're looking for Vault 79." Sith didn't hide it, and explained his purpose bluntly.

She thought that the man in front of her would know something, but she didn't expect that after hearing the word "sanctuary", there was only a blank expression on his face.

The expression was obviously not pretending, but a subconscious reaction.

Not only him, but also several young survivors behind him, with a completely unheard-of look on their faces.

"Refuge... There isn't any shelter nearby." Wu Tao looked at Si Si strangely, "This is Xiangling Town, and this building is the municipal library. Who would build a shelter in the library? Isn't it in the wrong place?"

"Eh?! Isn't it here?" Tails took out the map in surprise and unfolded it, repeatedly confirming that the coordinates and street numbers were fine.

Sis frowned slightly.

"Impossible. We came here only after receiving reliable news."

"Then I don't know, anyway, I've lived here since I was a child, and it's been almost thirty years," Wu Tao said, shaking his head, "Unfortunately a few days ago, our mayor cleaned up and followed the caravan heading west. If you ask him what he might know."

"No." Sesame paste's face showed an embarrassed expression.

Sis asked reluctantly.

"Can we go in and have a look?"

"Yes, but you have to keep your weapons," Wu Tao said cautiously, staring at the assault rifle in her hand, "We can't allow you to take this thing into our house."

Si Si didn't speak, and threw a bunch of heavy gold coins on the fence.

"That's not realistic, let's do it another way. Here's 1 dinar, we won't use your food and water, we just need a room that can live in, we'll leave at dawn tomorrow morning, and we won't disturb you. "

She found this purse from the legionnaires. It can be said that looking through boxes and touching corpses is a fine tradition for players.

Although the legion is annoying, as one of the two "circulating currencies" in the wasteland, those golden coins are not annoying.

Staring at the purse hanging on the wall, Wu Tao swallowed and exchanged glances with the other residents behind him.

"Do you want to let them in?"

"It shouldn't be a problem if you just stay for a day."

"What are you afraid of, it's just three little girls plus a bear at most."

"By the way, that bear! Don't let that guy in."

Wu Tao looked at the people outside the fence.

"No problem. But your pet will scare our residents and it has to stay outside."

"She's not a pet, she's our buddy," Sis corrected him and continued, "but it doesn't matter, we didn't plan to let everyone in."

As she spoke, she looked at her partner behind her and switched languages ​​skillfully.

"Rourou, Awei, can you please wait for us outside? Me and Sesame Paste go in and take a look. It may take a little while, but it should be out before eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

"I always feel that those people don't seem to be lying," Sesame Paste hesitated. "Could there be a problem with our intelligence? Maybe Vault 79 is really not here."

"Whether it's here or not, the last clue points here. According to the general practice of RPG games, the key to enter the next dungeon will most likely be here. In short, go ahead and take a look."

Vaults don't necessarily have only one entrance. Vault 404 has two, one connected to the subway and the other to the nursing home in the park.

Perhaps the door to the library in Vault 79 has not been used since it was closed, and the residents may have left through other exits.

Of course, this is just her guess.

She simply felt that planning should not design a meaningless scene.

"Oh! No problem!" Tail nodded vigorously, banging his chest, "Don't worry, leave it to Tail!"

Rou Rou said worriedly.

"If you are in danger, shout for help."

Si Si smiled and gently touched the furry head.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

The fortified wall has no doors, only a ladder lowered from the wall can climb in.

Entering the unfamiliar survivors' settlement, Sesame Paste's expression was a little nervous, but after seeing the elderly and children in the camp, my mood relaxed a little.

There are old people and children, at least it means that this is not a looter's lair, or a slaver's farm. Maybe the people here are not as open as Dawn City, but at least they have a basic moral bottom line.

The two followed in the footsteps of Wu Tao, passed through the parking lot where household garbage and supermarket shopping carts were piled up, and entered the library through the back door.

The space of the library is quite generous, with a concrete structure on all sides, like a castle. In the center is a 100-meter-wide patio. The dome is interlaced with steel skeletons, which should have been inlaid with large pieces of glass.

The back-shaped layout allows sufficient light in the center of the library, where local residents grow a lot of crops.

In addition, there are clotheslines and freshly washed clothes hanging on the corridors around the patio, and rows of shacks with iron shacks or wooden boards are distributed around.

While privacy is an issue, the people who live here don't seem to care much.

Sesame paste looked around curiously, very interested in the way of life of the people here, and the residents who lived here also looked at her curiously, especially the pair of cat ears on her head.

They've seen a lot of weirdos.

But it's the first time I've seen one with ears on top of my head.

Wu Tao, who was walking in front with a shotgun, introduced the situation here to Si Si who was beside him. Including how they lived for more than 100 years and what supplies were needed in their settlements.

This woman mentioned before that she is from Qingquan City.

He hadn't been there, but he'd heard that survivor settlements in big cities were usually richer, and there was a Boulder city where everything could be bought.

If they pass there next time, they can bring more soap and fertilizer, which they can exchange for local game or some specialty crops.

Although now is not the time to talk about business, he is the mayor of the town now, and he needs to consider more than the current affairs.

He believed that sooner or later, the Legion would leave this poor place where birds don't shit, and the people here would live as they should.

That's why he accepted the bag of gold coins.

"We've been living here since the fiftieth year of the Waste Era. According to my grandfather, this library is a few years old, and it can even be traced back to the early days of the People's Federation. Why do you think there might be something hidden under here? A sanctuary? There's not even a basement here.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if we don't, the right should be to satisfy our curiosity," Si Si looked around, "Is there still a collection of books here?"

Wu Tao said.

\"Most of them are gone, but some are well preserved. Successive mayors followed the ancestral instruction and kept the surviving books on the bookshelf on the second floor of the collection.

Although the last mayor ran away, I'll probably stick with it. "

Si Si suddenly became interested.

"Can you take me there?\"

Wu Tao nodded.

"No problem, but only if you don't take them away, let alone break them. I'm not kidding, if you do bad things to those books, bad luck will soon find you. Similar things have happened to you before. ."

"I can swear with my life," said Sis, blinking, "I'll cherish those books as I cherish my life."

Perhaps moved by her sincerity, Wu Tao was stunned for a few seconds on the spot.

When he came back to his senses, he coughed softly.

"It doesn't need to be so exaggerated...

"Since you said so, then come with me."

Wu Tao took the two to the second floor and left them here.

Looking at the rows of aluminum alloy bookshelves and the dazzling collection of books, Sesame Paste's face was full of hesitant expressions.

"Will the clues to Vault 79 be hidden in these books?"

Sis shook his head.

"I don't know, but these books are probably the only information that has survived the catastrophe two centuries ago... Maybe something can be found."

He took out a book at random, and Sisi turned it over in his hand, but his expression quickly froze.

Although she has been able to communicate daily with unskilled human linking, and can recognize some human linking words, it is far from being able to read normally.

The camera does have a simultaneous translation function.

But offline, the amount of text that can be translated is quite limited.

Just when she felt that she was in trouble, an unfamiliar voice suddenly floated from behind the bookshelf in front of her.

"I don't understand, why are you so persevering in trying to find that Vault 7⑨? The residents here have already told you that the Vault is not here."

"Besides, it's a sanctuary, not a treasury, and there are no valuable treasures hidden in it. Even if you go, you'll be sullen."

The voice was hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing against the wall, which startled the two people in the room.

"Who?" Sesame paste gripped the gun nervously.

Si Si's reaction was more direct, and he walked around behind the bookshelf, but he didn't see the person who made the sound, only a radio with a retro shape and rough workmanship.

With a hint of surprise in her eyes, she quickly glanced left and right, looking for the camera in the room, but saw nothing.

"Don't look around, I'm not here, and it doesn't matter whether I'm here or not." The man on the radio smiled wickedly and continued in a joking tone, "You'd better focus on my problem. , What if I am the security procedure of the gate? Your suspicious reaction just now is enough for me to lock the gate."

Sis" walked to Sisi's side, noticed the radio on the table, and sesame paste nervously glanced at his partner next to him.

She had absolutely no idea what the radio was saying.

But the voice gave her a bad feeling.

"give it to me…"

Giving her a reassuring look, Si Si looked at the radio and continued.

"We are here by order of Mr. Manager."

"Manager." The radio rustled and continued thoughtfully, "Are you residents of the shelter?"

\"Yes." Sisi nodded and said in a sincere voice, "We are from Vault 404 in Qingquan City...Do you know the news about Vault 79? This is very important to us. "

"Hmm, it's important... what are you going to use it for?" the radio said gruffly.

Sis said seriously.

"If the people inside are still there, we'll help them, and if they're gone, we'll continue their unfinished business... revive our civilization."

There was a chuckle on the radio, like a broken fingernail on a blackboard, making the teeth sore~www.readwn.com~Sesame Paste nervously took a step back, and Sisi also frowned slightly.

However, it didn't take long.

The laughter turned into a sigh.

"If what you crave is knowledge, the collection of books beside you is enough for you to study for a lifetime. If you hold the idea of ​​revival of civilization.

Naive ideal, that really shouldn't be here. "

Without waiting for Si Si to speak, it continued.

"Vault 79 is not the kind of place you think it is, and it wasn't there to shelter anyone in the first place."

Si Si felt that it seemed to have something to say.

Swallowing her saliva, she asked seriously.

"There...what the **** is it."

"It's the source of confusion."

The hoarse voice seemed to be drowned in long-standing memories.

But in the end, it all turned into a helpless self-mockery.

"At least half of the savagery in this land can be traced back to me."
